It’s episode 115 of Children of the Force! This week, we answer a bunch of questions from college students and Liam serenades us with a guitar and a song about Star Wars (and maybe how it’s better than Star Trek).

We bought The Night of the Gorax comic. Liam and I have both read it since recording and it’s pretty darn creepy. The art is phenomenal.

NEWS [3:30]

George Lucas visited the set of the Mandalorian.

And the Boba Fett movie is dead, I guess.

Q&A COUNCIL[8:40]

We visited Susan Walker’s Families and Technology class at the University of Minnesota again a couple weeks ago. The college students had a bunch of questions for us, but we didn’t get to most of them during class. So we’re taking the opportunity this week (and possibly next week) to answer those questions!

Of course, most of the questions are about us as a family and also how our use of technology affects our relationships with each other and the world at large.

One of the questions serves as a Stump the Lump question.

We also take a break from answering questions to hear Liam sing and play a Star Wars song on guitar. Good times.

This Halloween, we take a page out of the Simpsons’ playbook and bring you three spine-tingling tales of horror! Sort of. Pretty much.

Oh, hey, check out this comic cover. Spooky, right?

First, Anna brings us the introduction to a story she’s been working hard on.

A Twi’lek is in the woods alone……wracked with guilt over ruining her family’s life… …in her agony she gets lost… …then something comes out of the bushes…

Next, Kylo Ren reads us The Convor, in which a stately bird of the Jedi days of yore flies into his chamber and torments him over his lost Rey.

I put that one on YouTube too, if you want to listen to it in isolation:

And finally, Liam brings us a story that chills to the bone.

A member of the Imperial remnant steals from the First Order……she’s chased through the woods by a Knight of Ren……a kindly old man helps her out……and then helps himself.

Thanks for listening and I hope we didn’t give you any nightmares! Send us a voicemail or email us at forcechildren@gmail.com if you want to take part in the discussion or just give us some feedback. Thanks!

We discuss news of The Mandalorian and talk about these photos Jon Favreau posted on Instagram:

The blaster from the Holiday Special (above) sure looks like whatever the Mandalorian is using (below).

And dare we hope for Willow Hood?

We do. We dare.

We also talk about Alphabet Squadron. The name is ridiculous, but the concept sounds cool.

And we touch on the Chuck Wendig firing from Marvel. It’s not a good thing. We don’t like it. We don’t agree with it. We don’t accept it. Chuck deserves better and Marvel Star Wars readers deserve better.

In better news, Kathleen Kennedy will be heading up Lucasfilm for another three years!

And we talk the beginning of Star Wars: Resistance. Verdict: We like it quite a bit!

CANON NEWS [40:10]

Whose idea was it to hire someone to rob the Conveyex?

Also, those animals in the glass cases in Dryden’s office? They’re … alive?

Lando mispronounces Han the same way Han mispronounces Sabbac.

JOKE [44:50]

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Dryden.

Q&A COUNCIL [46:25]

Who do you want to see in Resistance?

STUMP THE LUMP [50:30]

What food does Dryden Vos offer Beckett’s crew?
